@crynobone we're all looking out for consistency, not everything has been written down but it's always taken into account. You're right that we'll need to compile a list of used terminology to make enforcement of consistency easier in the future, any help on making an inventory of what is already there and might be conflicting is of course appreciated.

On this change being discussed, I do agree with @FrenkyNet that it's a very different usage, at this point strong cases can be made for both `:num` (with the `Num` class) and `:numeric` (with the `Str::random()` method). With that in mind the shorter version is preferable as it doesn't lose any meaning but improves readability of your route. I would agree that in any future discussion with strickter rules on standardization this would need to be included.
